gcloud with zsh

.zshrc

# The next line updates PATH for the Google Cloud SDK.

script_link="$( readlink "$0" )" || script_link="$0"
apparent_sdk_dir="${script_link%/*}"
if [ "$apparent_sdk_dir" == "$script_link" ]; then
  apparent_sdk_dir=.
fi
sdk_dir="$( cd -P "$apparent_sdk_dir" && pwd -P )"
bin_path="$sdk_dir/bin"
export PATH=$bin_path:$PATH

@Ricky-NSW Thanks, was thinking I was going mad but the brackets on line 3 resolved it for me! But you get a parsing error around the if statement, if you don't format it correctly,

script_link="$( readlink "$0" )" || script_link="$0" 
apparent_sdk_dir="${script_link%/*}" 
if [[ "$apparent_sdk_dir" == "$script_link" ]]; then

I was in the same situation. I am using if [ "$apparent_sdk_dir" = "$script_link" ]; then

great. this fixed the issue

Should I answer yes or no to the Ignore insecure directories and continue message and then run the source commands listed at the top of this thread? I've downloaded the SDK package, unzipped it in my home directory, and I ran ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh. But now that I've opened a new terminal, I'm getting that warning message and I'm not sure what to do next in order to follow along with the recommendations posted here.

Update: I reinstalled zsh on my machine and that took care of the issue.

This works!! thanks for that! 👏

Btw for those encountering this issue that contains this message: Ignore insecure directories and continue

This can help https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13762280/zsh-compinit-insecure-directories

Thanks very much - fixed a super annoying issue.

Also see brew cask info that tell to source those files in the zshrc.

Fantastic, thanks a lot for your help.

Just a quick note that I had to use brew info google-cloud-sdk and not brew cask info google-cloud-sdk with Homebrew's version 3.2.11 as the cask command seems now deprecated.

Adding gcloud to the plugin list in ~/.zshrc did the trick for me

On a Mac and this was the simple solution for me after a brew install google-cloud-sdk

Adding gcloud to the plugin list in ~/.zshrc did the trick for me

This worked for me in March 2022, probably the easiest solution on macOS

@louicoder i'm assuming that when you, and others, are referring to "adding gcloud to the plugin list` you are using oh-my-zsh and this is the oh-my-zshell plugin list and corresponding plugin?

Can confirm this helps.
